Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a muscle-active slimming food which facilitates leaning of a body while preventing a lean body mass of the body from decreasing.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Weight adjustment is an important issue for athletes. In addition, so-called dieting is also actively performed by ordinary people from the viewpoint of health maintenance and beauty. When adjusting body weight or dieting, it is a basic measure to promote energy metabolism while restricting calorie intake. Therefore, a diet menu with low-calorie foods, training in a gym, or jogging is encouraged.

[0003] The activity energy of the human body is mainly required for hydrated carbon, but when the hydrated carbon is depleted, fat is decomposed and added to the calorie source. Therefore, when an exercise load is given in a hungry state in which the diet is restricted, the fat mainly composed of fat is reduced, and the body is made slimmer. However, when the exercise load is continuously given in a hungry state, the protein is decomposed and calorie occurs.

[0004] In the human body, protein is mainly contained in muscles, so that its decomposition means muscle wasting, which may have a fatal effect on athletes in reducing athletic performance. . In addition, even in ordinary people, the appearance of excessive leanness is rather negative from a cosmetic point of view. Therefore, it is important to supplement muscles worn by heavy exercise load with a high protein diet mainly composed of meat, etc., in which case, fat is cut off and only protein is selectively taken. Since it is actually difficult, there is a problem that the diet effect is reduced.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in dieting, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a muscular activity that prevents leaning of the body and reduces the body weight while facilitating leaning. It is intended to provide a food for slimming.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventor of the present invention has been researching slimming foods. However, in this research, when a plurality of specific substances among various energy metabolism intermediates are used in combination, these substances are used. The present inventors have found that the synergistic action of the compound significantly enhances the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids in the body and the ability to prevent muscle wasting during prolonged fasting exercise, and has accomplished the present invention.

Thus, the present invention provides (1) a muscle-active slimming food containing citric acid, malic acid, L-glutamic acid, and an active functional peptide.

[0008] As the citric acid and malic acid used in the present invention, those conventionally known as acidulants can be used. This citric acid and malic acid
These pure components may be used, or a material containing them may be used. In this regard, the same applies to L-glutamic acid used in the present invention.

The active functional peptide used in the present invention is obtained by hydrolyzing a polypeptide by an ordinary method, and has an amino acid chain length of about 7 to 50, preferably 8
10 to 10 are preferred.

The present invention essentially requires the use of the above four compounds in combination, and the synergistic action of the four compounds leads to an excellent effect of improving carbohydrate / lipid metabolism and a long time as shown in the experimental results described later. The ability to prevent muscle wasting during fasting exercise can be significantly improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As a preferred embodiment of the present invention,
The following (2) can be mentioned. (2) Malic acid 60-120 parts by weight, L-glutamic acid 60-120 with respect to citric acid 100 parts by weight
A muscular strength active type slimming food according to the above (1), which comprises 10 parts by weight and 3000 parts by weight of an active functional peptide.

The preferred form of the muscle-powered slimming food according to the present invention is a tablet. However, in order to perform good tableting, the ratio of each component must be appropriately adjusted. From experience, it is difficult to perform satisfactory tableting outside the range of the component ratio specified in the present embodiment. It is. When the present food is supplied in the form of a powder that is not subjected to tableting, such component adjustment is not required.

In general, the required amounts of citric acid and malic acid in the course of metabolizing lipids and carbohydrates vary greatly from individual to individual. However, in the present embodiment, in consideration of safety, these are required for men (30 to 30 kg) weighing 60 kg. About 1/40)
5 is set in the range of 50% before and after the center.

EXAMPLES In order to verify the effectiveness of a muscle-active slimming food according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the food"), muscle strength of four subjects before and after ingestion of the food was determined. Hematology tests were performed.

The test subjects were 20 male boxers, 20 male
There were a total of four dancers, one male and one female dancer.
These subjects were orally ingested three times a day with the food tablets three times a day for about one month (October to November 1995), and given the following exercise load during the ingestion period. . -Boxer: 4 hours a day weight training, jumping rope, 1 hour a day shadow boxing, sparring 2 hours a day jogging as a weekly menu-Dancer: 5 hours a day aerobic exercise and stretching This experiment The tablet used for citric acid was 10.0 per tablet.
mg, malic acid 8.0 mg, L-glutamic acid 10.0
mg, 30.0 mg of the active functional peptide.

Muscle strength was measured before and after the above intake period. The muscular strength was measured by using a constant-motion exercise tester musculator GT160 manufactured by OG Giken Co., Ltd., and the maximum muscular strength of the quadriceps femoris muscle at a knee joint flexion of 70 degrees was measured. The maximum muscular strength is measured, but the GT160 has a maximum value at 70 degrees due to its mechanical properties.) After the measurement of the muscle strength, a blood biochemical test was attempted, and changes in CPK and cholesterol levels were observed. CPK is a deviating enzyme secreted into the blood when muscle is wasted. Generally after intense exercise C
The PK value increases. Table 1 shows the measurement results.

[Table 1]

The measurement results in Table 1 are summarized as follows. Muscle strength measurement: The left and right muscular strength was clearly improved for two boxers, but the right and left muscular strength was not particularly improved for both male and female dancers. Hematology: (a) Boxer A did not show a significant change in CPK value, while Boxer B did show a slight increase in CPK value. The dancers did not show significant changes in CPK values for both men and women. (B) In all four subjects, an increase in HDL cholesterol level as an index of cholesterol level was observed.
No change was observed in the atherosclerotic index value as a ratio.

The considerations derived from the above measurement results are as follows. Compared to boxers, dancers did not improve muscle strength. This is presumably because in the case of a dancer, the amount of exercise is not reflected in the muscle strength due to the movement of the skeleton with the sole as a fulcrum. On the other hand, since the boxer's punching movement is mainly a rotational movement of the body with a balance between the upper body and the lower body, it is considered that the amount of exercise is reflected in the muscular strength at various places.

In this experiment, the boxer showed a difference in muscular strength before and after ingesting the food, and the CPK
Since there was no large increase in the value, it is considered that the abrasion of the muscle tissue due to the intense exercise was effectively prevented, and the muscle strength was improved. In addition, since no change was observed in the arteriosclerosis index value as seen from the AI ratio, it is considered that the intake of the present food was intended to purify the blood during exercise.

[0020]

According to the muscle-active slimming food of the present invention, the muscle tissue is effectively prevented from being worn due to intense exercise, and the lean body mass is prevented from decreasing. Can be streamlined.
